  • Hi Jade, 

    Sounds like a really difficult situation, especially with the view of the school. I'm sure they need to make an assessment of children they teach but that's hard if no one is helping you with the process.

    Can I suggest calling our Education Rights Service - I'm sure they will have lots of experience dealing with similar situations and should be able to talk through some appropriate next steps. Follow the link below to find out the ways you can get in touch -

    And I don't know if it will help but you may want to look at our 'After diagnosis' leaflet to see if anything there is useful -

    I hope that helps and other people on the Community may be able to share their experiences of similar situations.
